Problems with keyboard when booting up

Hey,
Every couple of reboots, my T61p's keyboard just stops working (external or the laptop one). I can fix it by rebooting, but it's really annoying. I also have a docking station and whenever I undock, it also has this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Oh and one more problem. I can't set the monitor to shut down after a certain period of time through Windows. Every time I try to, power manager resets it to "never" and my monitor stays on all day. Where is the setting through power manager?

 

I have this same problem with the touchpad on a T61. I have not found a fix for it yet.

 

i am assuming they are driver issues; download the proper one and reinstall them

 

What drivers though? I have no idea what's causing this problem. Plus, this is a clean install - all my drivers have been downloaded through Lenovo. And Thinkvantage update doesn't really work because I didn't install all the drivers through Thinkvantage.

 

I have the same problem with a clean install of XP, haven't found a fix either.

 

Okay, I guess I'll call Lenovo at some point in the near future. This is actually really bad - it basically renders my docking station useless because I have to reboot every time I undock. Takes up a whole lot more time than unplugging a couple wires.

 

An update: I fixed the problem by installing the Ultranav driver. Phew.

 

Thanks for the info. Installing the Untranav driver right now.
btw, do you have problem with the sound card driver? My sound card sometime disappear after a reboot and then it will come back right after the next reboot. I guess there is some drive that I need to install, but don't know which one.

 

i believe there was a windows update fix for that; just downloaded yest
